I want an Android phone with keyboard - I like the slider phones, and I'd like an Android equivalent of the Blackberry Torch.

I looked into the Galaxy Pro (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_pro_b7510-3850.php) , but it looks like a bad compromise.

Sure. My point is simply that when the iPhone came out, it was widely criticized for not having a keyboard. These days, not having a keyboard is the norm, and those few phones which still have them are really unusual. What was once a target for criticism is now standard, and vice versa.
